J.M. MARLIN M94 Lever Action .25-20M TAKEDOWN Small Game VARMINT Rifle C&R 

ROARING 20s Classic Small Caliber Repeating Rifle

Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .25-20 Marlin, made circa the 1920s in New Haven, Connecticut. Marlin was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19th and into the 20th Century. Originally patented on August 1, 1893 by L.L. Hepburn, the 1894 featured a new locking bolt and two-piece firing pin, alongside an improved one-piece trigger and a short receiver that allowed cartridge compatibility with the 1888 and 1889 models. It features a solid top frame with side ejection and a smooth action.

The Model 1894 and its successors found particular favor in Canada, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest, where precipitation combined with cold temperatures sometimes caused top-eject designs to freeze solid. During the Klondike Gold Rush, the solid-top Marlin design was preferred by many prospectors facing subzero temperatures and dangerous animals, since the solid top frame was better at keeping freezing rain, snow and dirt out of the operating parts of the action.

The overall condition is good. Original dark brown patina throughout. The stock is good and remains solid. The markings are legible. The action is strong. The bore is dim and has some shimmer with strong rifling. Oversized period replacement front sight. A nice lever action takedown rifle from Marlin that would have been very handy hunting small game!
